JODY T Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Yeah, i think I know what's happened. I think they must have tried to fit the lights up without the wings on. Cheers, all! tell them to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Rik, you definetely need the alligenment points in the wing to be in place for them to fit properly. They can be a real pain to get lined up especially after it's had a front end smack. Good to see some progress have you decided on a colour yet?

rik Posted May 9, 2006 Author Share Posted May 9, 2006 Thanks everyone for all your help. I have emailed the pictures to the bodyshop, so they should be okay if they haven't figured it out by themselves already. Also, found out today that the inner rim on the o/s front has a big chunk missing out of it. Will definitely be needing to sort out a set of wheels now, rather than just getting new tyres.

rik Posted May 9, 2006 Author Share Posted May 9, 2006 Good to see some progress have you decided on a colour yet? No, mate. Still can't make my mind up! Don't want it to be too eye-candy, but am tempted by the Temple Laugherne blue supra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me know and I'll pass on the details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rik Posted May 10, 2006 Author Share Posted May 10, 2006 Nice one mate, i recon thats going to be the best option for me to get the car on the road as soon as possible. Only i'll have to wait untill i've paid this bill first, and then see where i'm at. I'm going to do all oils and fluids and new pads all round aswell before i get it mot'd. When it comes back from the body shop and is all assembled, these thing are all (hopefully) it will need to be road worthy along with new rubber. Rik.

What a coincidence, Temple Laugherne are breaking their blue supra. I'll see if they will sell me the paint!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPRALOOPY Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 O line measurements of the chassis and start checking that she is square. but it don't look to bad, also check for small creases along the front legs! even small imperfections can lead to big bills:( hope this helps;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rik Posted May 23, 2006 Author Share Posted May 23, 2006 More progress..................................it's straight! I've been and taken some more pics of it today, sitting outside the bodyshop. I'm so pleased to finally see it in one piece. There are a few bits still to go on (wheel arch liners, engine undertray) but it's pretty much all there at last. Hopefully it won't need too much for the MOT. Once it's roadworthy I'll be so tempted to blast it around unpainted in two colours. Still haven't quite decided what I'm doing regarding the paint. Tempted to balst some matt black over it so it's all one colour! I'm dead pleased with the bodyshop, they have done a good job with no real fuss. I'd recommend them - they're in Norwich (Mods, let me know if I can give them a plug on here?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
